Using WidgEditor
Jan 17, 2007Let’s face it, HTML sucks for writing content. Nobody likes to worry about opening and closing tags when they’re just trying to write something for a webpage. Most people are used to Word. They like easy to use buttons to get bold, italics, etc. So what are your options then?
If you want a Word interface clone, you could always go with FCKeditor, but I personally think all those tiny buttons are just painful to look at. Sure you have all the little icons that you get with Word, but let’s face it nobody uses all those buttons anyway.
I think a much better solution is the widgEditor by The Man in Blue (aka Cameron Adams). It’s simple and gives you only the necessary functionality. I think it’s much easier to look at, and most people just seem to understand it the moment they see.
If you’re looking for a nice web based text editor for a CMS I highly recommend it.
